Sunday Suppers - Monday Edition

Sorry my Sunday Supper recipe is a bit delayed. Time got away from me last night. This dish is something surprisingly delicious. The sound of it totally turned me away. I am not picky in the least bit when it comes to food and trying new things, but some flavors I feel do not belong together. Just the sound of them can turn me away. I was urged to try this at a Christmas Party last year (yes, I have a very strange, precise memory) and I have searched for the recipe ever since then! Well I finally stumbled upon the recipe in a cookbook from my mother from my hometown church, FBC Saks.

Pineapple Delight

(I renamed this as the original name is Pineapple Casserole. Yuck! This is why I never ate it.....pineapple, mixed in a casserole dish. Are you kidding?) Well I was proven wrong!

Ingredients:

2 (20-oz.) cans pineapple tidbits, drained and juice saved (save 6 Tbsp.)

1 cup sugar

6 Tbsp. flour

2 cups grated cheddar cheese

1/2 cup melted butter or margarine

1 roll Ritz crackers, crushed

Directions:

Mix pineapple juice with flour and sugar.

Then add cheese and pineapple. Mix well.

Put in a 9x13 inch dish sprayed with Pam.

Add melted butter to crushed cracker crumbs.

Mix and sprinkle over pineapple mixture.

Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes.

Something about the buttery, crispy texture of the topping mixed with the sweet gooeyness of the filling is perfect!! Yummy!!!

It is the best dish if you love sweet and salty. Brian and I ate this (yes, Brian ate it) with Jerk grilled chicken. It was like an escape to the Caribbean Islands. If only.......
